Thats twice (probably three times) we've had overcast and rain for 5 days in a row here in 8 months.
I've noticed that weather here gets stuck in a rut alot more than the UK. Here, if it rains, it does so for 5 days, if its sunny, it can be wall to wall sunshine for 8 weeks.
The UK weather is alot more changeable. Four seasons in one day

Yes, I agree, but it takes a bit of adjusting to here. Instead of the UK stylee, say a day of rain, a day of showers, a windy cold shower day, then an overcast day. Here, you can literally get 5 days straight of rain. Conversely you can also get 8 weeks straight of sunshine.
I'm not whinging!!!
I'm just pointing out a difference in weather patterns I've noticed.JTL
